Make this simple, creamy, and cheesy broccoli casserole that fits perfectly into your ketogenic diet plan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets, cooked and drained
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. If using fresh broccoli, steam or boil the florets until tender-crisp, then drain them well. If using frozen, thaw and drain thoroughly.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the cream cheese and stir until smooth.
  4. Whisk in the heavy whipping cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mixture is hot and smooth, about 2 minutes. Do not boil.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the cheddar cheese and all of the Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
  6. Fold the cooked and drained broccoli florets into the cheese sauce until evenly coated.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, squeeze excess moisture from the cooked broccoli before mixing it into the sauce.
  • You can add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce for deeper flavor complexity.
  • If you prefer a crispier top, add 1/4 cup of crushed pork rinds mixed with 1 tablespoon of melted butter as a topping before baking.
